Chapter 187

187 She Doesn’t Want to Do So

The man sitting beside the driver scolded, “You don’t understand. Mr. Cedric and Mr. Joseph grew up together so they are best friends. Didn’t you see how happy Mr. Joseph was when he saw Mr. Cedric? Mr. Joseph seldom has that happy face usually.”

The driver nodded immediately, “I know. Without Mr. Cedric in that accident, Mr. Joseph would have...”

The driver stopped speaking and pulled on the emergency brake.

He was speaking when he saw a person running across the road so he had to stop the car.

“I’m sorry. Mr. Cedric, are you alright?” the driver said.

“I’m fine,” Cedric replied.

“Joey! What are you doing? What if you hurt Mr. Cedric?” Peter shouted.

“I am fine. Peter, don’t blame your brother. Joey, go and check if you have hit someone?” Cedrick said as he picked up the papers.

Joey was stunned and then he got out of the car immediately. Then he came back in shock and said, “Mr. Cedric, I am sorry. I hit a girl!”

.....

“Stay calm! Is she alive? Call for an ambulance!” Cedric said.

He thought about it and put down the papers, wanting to open the door.

“Mr. Cedric, please stay in the car,” Peter said.

He stopped Cedric, “There are only me and Joey protecting you. It is dark outside. What if someone wants to hurt you? I will deal with it! I will tell the Wilsons and let them send a car over and take you to the airport!”

Cedric smiled and said, “Even my father doesn’t know that I am here, how can anyone else know where I am? There is no one to hurt me. I’d better check the girl.”

As he spoke, Joey, who was making a call, shouted, “She is alive!”

Cedric got out of the car immediately.

It was a young lady with a backpack on her back. She looked like a student and she was sitting on the ground with one hand on her knee and another hand on her head. There was dust on her clothes. She murmured, “Water...”

Cedric waved his hand and Peter brought over a bottle of water. Peter held up the girl and handed the water to her.

The girl began to drink it.

After she drank half of the water, she was satiated.

Joey crouched beside the girl and asked, “Miss, are you alright? Did you rush to the middle of the road first? So, it is not my fault, right?”

Peter nudged Joey and said, “Shouldn’t you ask if she is hurt?”

Then Peter turned to the girl and said, “Miss, how do you feel? The ambulance is coming so you have to wait for a while.”

The girl did not answer Peter. Instead, she took out her phone from her backpack and found that the phone was broken. She threw it back into her backpack and groped for Joey and Peter’s wrists.

Joey and Peter didn’t know what to do.

“It is now 8:45, pm,” Cedric said. He knew that the girl wanted to know the time right now.

The girl realized that there was another man so she looked up at Cedric.

Cedric was stunned.

Maybe the light of the car or the stars in the sky were dazzling. He thought that the girl’s eyes were the prettiest in the world.

Her eyes were bright, intellectual, and beautiful.

The unlucky girl who got hit by the car was Isabella.

Isabella noticed that the man in front of her was wearing a grey and informal suit jacket and a black shirt beneath it. His leather shoes were shining. He looked different from the other two men. He was calm and staring at her with his arms crossed as if the crash had nothing to do with him.

His composure pissed off Isabella.

She looked at the logo of the car and guessed the relationship between this man and the other two men. She asked Cedric, “I have a condition.”

Cedric was surprised to hear it so he said, “Miss, you can tell me what you need. To be honest, this was the first time I saw a young lady who told me her conditions first after she got hit by my car. Is it worth it for you to scam me at night?”

Isabella frowned and said, “What do you mean? If you don’t want to talk with me, we could only wait for the policemen to deal with it.”

Peter said, “Miss, I warn you...”

Cedric stopped Peter and said with a smile, “You are smart. Go ahead. What’s your condition?”

Isabella said, “There was a car crash not long ago so you can’t pass this way. But I know another road.”

“About the accident, I can let it go. But I want to borrow your car to...” Isabella could tell from the man’s attitude that they might help her.

Joey rolled up his sleeve and said, “I see. Miss, you don’t want to scam us but you want to rob us! Peter, protect Mr. Cedric!”

Cedric looked down at Isabella and said, “Don’t you move. Miss, what do you want my car for? Where do you want to run away from?”

“I just want to get changed!” Isabella said.

She put her hand on her chest and said impatiently, “Can you hear that I am breathless? Why do you like to interrupt me?”

“How dare you be so rude to Mr. Cedric! Do you want to borrow our car to change your clothes? Are you insane? I will call the police if you continue to say so!” Joey warned.

Isabella felt embarrassed but she had to ask them for help.

If she had other ways, she would never ask to change her clothes in a stranger’s car.

Joseph would cut the cakes at 9 o’clock and tell everyone about their relationship. If she could come to the party in the gown gracefully, she would not embarrass Joseph and Joseph might forgive her for being late.

However, if she came there like this, Joseph would kill her.

However, she had no time and place to change her clothes after all these things. She could not change her clothes on the road now.

When she was thinking about it as she walked onto the road, she got hit by the car. She was lucky because she was not hurt. She just felt dizzy.

Since she got hit and there was a car, Isabella thought that maybe she could take advantage of the car crash and asked for help.

But it was just her idea. The three men didn’t want to help her.

They even thought that she scammed them and wanted to call the police. Whatever happened, she had to go to the police. She could imagine the situation tomorrow after she came back to the Wilson Manor.

When Joseph saw her tomorrow, he would be so angry that he wanted to throw her into the lake with crocodiles.

She didn’t want things to become like this, too.

Isabella sighed and stood up, ready to go to the police station.

“Then it is settled,” Cedric said.

He added, “You have five minutes to use our car and then you must tell us another road.”

Isabella looked at Cedric in surprise. She thought that there might be something wrong with this guy.

“I am healthy and sane,” Cedric said.

He knew what the girl was thinking about so he smiled and said, “I have to catch up with my flight at 10 o’clock so I do need to know another road.”
